[JavaScript] Getters returning nulls instead of default values for primitives

What language does this apply to?

JavaScript

Describe the problem you are trying to solve.

Currently, all generated getters for primitives in _pb.js files call to jspb.Message.getFieldWithDefault and there seem to be no way to tell generator to simply call jspb.Message.getField instead.
This is particularly problematic when using proto2 syntax with required/optional numeric fields. If an optional field is not set, it will default to "0".

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally there would be an option passed to the js_out parameter of protoc where we could say whether or not to use defaults.

Describe alternatives you've considered

One could potentially leverage hasMyField() to determine if the field has been set or not, but it would make the mapping layer between proto and internal app model even more verbose, as this would need to be done on all optional fields, which we have quite a few.

Comienza rastreando los getters primitivos generados que llaman a jspb.Message.getFieldWithDefault y cómo se analiza el parámetro js_out. Revisa el manejo de opciones existente del generador y las pruebas de generación de getters, si las hay. Se considera terminado cuando una opción documentada controla si los getters primitivos opcionales conservan los valores no establecidos, con cobertura para campos numéricos de proto2.
